For all those people out there who are working whilst going through IVF treatment 💉please can you complete the attached survey 📒or kindly share with your other followers as I am trying to get individuals to share their experiences of balancing the two. There is no personal identifiable data in the survey as I just want to gather stories of people in this situation to raise awareness of how difficult it currently is to do and get the conversation started about how it can be improved.... https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N5LDCWX #fertilitytreatment#ivfandwork#ivfjourney#ivfwarriors#mentalhealthawareness#sharingexperiences

Approximately 1 in 5 couples in Canada will have trouble conceiving. If you are trying to conceive, or are planning on starting soon, here are some things to consider.
Age – A female’s fertility is optimal in their 20’s and begins to decline in the 30’s. We are learning that men also have a biological clock, and by the time they reach 40, their sperm has more DNA damage and mutates more often.
Coffee Consumption – A study found the risk for not conceiving within 12 months was 55% higher in women who consumed 1 cup of coffee per day. The risk increased to 100% in women drinking 2-3 cups per day, and to 176% in those having 3+ cups daily.
Alcohol – A 50% reduction in conception was found in experiments of test animals given “intoxicating” doses of alcohol 24 hours prior to mating.
Toxic Exposure – Exposure to chemicals such as pesticides, dry cleaning fumes, detergents, solvents (nail polish remover, paint, paint thinners, etc.) have a significant impact on both male and female infertility.
Immune System Dysfunction – The rate of autoimmune antibodies (antibodies which mistakenly attack the person’s own body) was reported to be 33% in women unable to deliver a baby to full term and 0% in a control group of women with successful pregnancies.
MSG – A common flavour enhancer added to foods, was found to cause infertility problems in test animals. Male rats fed MSG before mating had less than a 50% success rate, whereas male rats not fed MSG had over a 92% success rate. Female rats were also affected: the female offspring of the MSG fed rats were unable to conceive during the test period.
Research shows that lifestyle changes improved odds of conception. Creating optimal health in both partners before conception creates an optimal environment for baby to grow.

This is the best visual to describe my morning. What you don’t see are the multiple tabs of egg donor profiles on my laptop, the book update emails in another tab, my MIL eating her breakfast to the left of me, or the heavy, argumentative, & frustrating dementia morning that had me fighting back tears and anger. Rainy, moody, heavy-almost-full-moon day. Remember to take care of you today.
